Most of us are not born into extreme wealth and privilege. We don’t have trust funds awaiting us the second we leave home and step out into the world.
For people who have never set foot onto this incredible continent, Australia’s “expensive” reputation precedes it. It’s no wonder that the world stutters at the very mention of their incredibly high standards of living, as well as their incredibly pricey offers, from foodie spots, to cultural events which are renowned worldwide.

The view of the Taj Mahal from Agra Fort
Agra welcomes millions of visitors every year to visit the Taj Mahal. While the Taj Mahal is well-deserving of all the limelight, there are other tourist attractions in Agra that cannot be missed. Tourists who visit the Taj Mahal can easily visit monuments like the Mehtab Bagh, Agra Fort, Akbar’s tomb and Fatehpur Sikri. Exploring all these monuments will give a decent understanding of the history of the Mughal Empire and how significant Agra was to its rulers.

During vacation, with or without a music festival in the picture, your safety is still top priority.

You may be a solo backpacker, meanderer, or part of pack of adrenaline hunters, Ladakh has space for all. We are after the road less taken, the destination less sought. Hidden in the farthest corners of this land are gems hidden in valleys, villages, vivid lives of people who live closest to nature.
